    Keep an eye on your logs and you may want to let your ISP or host know... That will generate some traffic :) Congrats....

    You can get out of the sandbox thru major links like that.

    So using the "Ad Network" could help pull you out of the sandbox too? I've been reading a few posts here that say to be careful and not have too many links to fast. I would imagine that with the right amount of weight the "Ad Network" links could match whatever USA Today through at Stephenmunday's site.

    Stephenmunday, I'm not trying to highjack your thread. I'm just wondering if you could see a negative impact because of the USA Today article generating too many links too fast.

    Thanks guys!

    All I did was send them an email and forgot about it. I figured they probably get thousands every week, so I thought that would probably be then end of it. But there you go. It never hurts to ask.

    In terms of traffic, it is definitely going to get me several thousand visitors over the next day or so and a long-term boost as it will stay in their archives. I am also hoping other sites / magazines etc. may pick it up and give me more free publicity.

    At the moment the traffic is not equalling what I got the other day when the site was posted on www.i-am-bored.com. I thought the server was going to melt-down then.

    BTW, in Japan we are not charged for bandwidth, so I really don't care how many people come - as long as the server can handle it.

    Additional traffic does not equate to additional links. Nor will a few high profile links bypass any filter issues for the site.

    That said, it's a great accomplishment featuring on USA today. Right about now, you could monetize through short term advertising ops.

    <envy: wish it were mine !!! lol >

    Cheers,

    JL

    Too many links too fast?

    What do I care? Google is giving me almost zilch at the moment and apart from Yahoo, all of my thousand plus visitors a day are from links. This is all since Jan 6th.

    If G does not give a site that is picked up by USA Today (and Yahoo News Japan as well as having serveral PR6 and 7 links) credit then I think their algo is screwy.

    I just went and took a quick look at your site.

    I gotta say, I can see why it's being featured. It's a damn good site !

    PS: I hope USA today *does* improve things for you.. your site is one of the few I actually like. I'm yet to see evidence of this too many links too fast thing too, so in the event you do get loads of BL's, more power to ya :)

    Cheers,

    JL

    No program will get you out of the sandbox. The weight is not revealed thru PR or backlinks showing. Weight determines the importance of a site.
    If a site of major importance determines your web site worthy of being linked to, it can get Google to rank you faster.

    The Ad Coop would be great IF I had other sites indexed that could pass their weight over to japanese-name-translation.

    Unfortunately, the only site in the network is JNT and it has 1 page fully indexed by G in the site: search. So I get weight for 1 page in Google. Which comes to a massive ..... 64 points. Whoopy-do. Of course, as soon as I am out of the SB, all will be rosey. But right now whoever has their ads on my site is getting great exposure, while I get almost nothing. (PS. if you feel sympathy - send me some weight :) )
